GOD NO LONGER GETS A CAPITAL G (Letter to Dom Post, March 27)

I’ve noted recently that your paper seems to have abandoned the grammatical imperative of according proper nouns a capital letter, at least in the case of the deity, Mother gets the phone call she dreaded, April 1, being a case in point. To be consistent you will of course accord the same treatment to such as the dominion post, prime minister key and very obviously, mohammed. Things could get interesting.
